FA Cup Fifth Round - Sunday
15th February, 2008
Sunday’s first match up is between Sheffield Utd and Middlesborough, the bookie’s favourites, at 2:00pm.

Middlesborough have not lost in seven games, a much better record than that of Sheffield Utd. Bookie’s are pricing Borough at approximately 11/8 whereas Sheffield Utd are getting odds from many bookies that would results in a priceless win (1/1).

Sunday’s second game, at 4:00pm, is a match between Preston and Portsmouth.
With many of the African stars returning from the African Cup of Nations, Harry Redknapp can field a full team in order to get ahead of Preston, who beat the Premiership’s Derby County 4-1 in the last round.
For this match, Portsmouth have been deemed favourites at 9/10 odds from Centrebet, to get the away win. Preston have been given 2/1 odds on beating yet another Premiership club.
